Wei S, Wang L, Yang J, Xu R, Jia R, He P. Protective Effect of Polysaccharides Isolated from Sargassum horneri against H 2O 2-Induced Oxidative Stress Both In Vitro, in Vero Cells, and In Vivo in Zebrafish. BIOLOGY 2024; 13:651. [PMID: 39336079 PMCID: PMC11444143 DOI: 10.3390/biology13090651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024]
Abstract
The extensive outbreak of Sargassum horneri in China has not merely imposed a severe threat to the ecological environment and human life in coastal waters but also impeded the development of waterway transportation and the local economy. Consequently, we isolated polysaccharides from S. horneri, designated as SHP, and evaluated the antioxidant activity of SHP both in vitro and in vivo by investigating the effect of SHP on H2O2-induced African green monkey kidney cells (Vero cells) and zebrafish. The results demonstrated that SHP can enhance the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in zebrafish. It also effectively inhibits micro malondialdehyde and ROS levels in Vero cells and zebrafish to mitigate the oxidative damage caused by H2O2, thereby achieving the protective effect of SHP on Vero cells and zebrafish. In conclusion, SHP holds the potential as a natural antioxidant. SHP can be contemplated for utilization as a natural antioxidant in the biomedical, cosmetic, and food industries, thereby alleviating the environmental stress caused by S. horneri and achieving resource utilization.

Abstract
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is increasingly used and now found in products intended for human consumption. The protective effect of 1,8-cineole (CIN) against BPAF-induced reproductive toxicity was investigated. Four groups were created, with each group consisting of eight rats: control, BPAF (200 mg/kg), CIN (200 mg/kg), and BPAF + CIN groups. The results demonstrated that the BPAF group exhibited a decline in testosterone levels and a decrease in sperm parameters compared with the control. Additionally, higher levels of MDA were observed, along with lower levels of GSH and GPx activity. CAT activity also decreased slightly. Tnf-α, Nf-κB levels were significantly higher, and caspase-3 expression was elevated, while PCNA expression decreased. BPAF significantly increased tissue degeneration compared with the control. However, the BPAF + CIN group showed statistically significant improvements in sperm parameters, except for concentration. They also exhibited an increase in testosterone levels and an improvement in MDA and GSH levels compared with the BPAF group. However, GPx activity partially enhanced. Tnf-α and Nf-κB levels were significantly reduced, and caspase-3 levels declined while PCNA and Bcl-2 levels increased. The Johnsen Testicular Biopsy score showed a substantial increase. Overall, these results suggest that CIN co-treatment in rats enhanced reproductive health and exhibited antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties against BPAF-induced testicular damage.

Abstract
Environmental pollutants have been linked to neurotoxicity and are proposed to contribute to neurodegenerative disorders. The zebrafish model provides a high-throughput platform for large-scale chemical screening and toxicity assessment and is widely accepted as an important animal model for the investigation of neurodegenerative disorders. Although recent studies explore the roles of environmental pollutants in neurodegenerative disorders in zebrafish models, current knowledge of the mechanisms of environmentally induced neurodegenerative disorders is relatively complex and overlapping. This review primarily discusses utilizing embryonic zebrafish as the model to investigate environmental pollutants-related neurodegenerative disease. We also review current applicable approaches and important biomarkers to unravel the underlying mechanism of environmentally related neurodegenerative disorders. We found embryonic zebrafish to be a powerful tool that provides a platform for evaluating neurotoxicity triggered by environmentally relevant concentrations of neurotoxic compounds. Additionally, using variable approaches to assess neurotoxicity in the embryonic zebrafish allows researchers to have insights into the complex interaction between environmental pollutants and neurodegenerative disorders and, ultimately, an understanding of the underlying mechanisms related to environmental toxicants.

Trimester-specific effect of maternal co-exposure to organophosphate esters and phthalates on preschooler cognitive development: The moderating role of gestational vitamin D status. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118536. [PMID: 38442813 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) and phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are prevalent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Humans are often exposed to OPEs and PAEs simultaneously through multiple routes. Given that fetal stage is a critical period for neurodevelopment, it is necessary to know whether gestational co-exposure to OPEs and PAEs affects fetal neurodevelopment. However, accessible epidemiological studies are limited. The present study included 2, 120 pregnant women from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort (MABC) study. The concentrations of tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), 6 OPE metabolites and 7 PAE metabolites were measured in the first, second and third trimester using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Cognitive development of preschooler was assessed based on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV) of the Chinese version. Generalized estimating equations (GEEs), restricted cubic spline (RCS) and generalized additive models (GAMs) were employed to explore the associations between individual OPE exposure and preschooler cognitive development. The quantile-based g-computation (QGC) method was used to estimate the joint effect of PAEs and OPEs exposure on cognitive development. GEEs revealed significant adverse associations between diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) (β: -0.58, 95% CI: -1.14, -0.01), bis (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate(BBOEP) (β: -0.44, 95% CI: -0.85, -0.02), bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPP) (β: -0.81, 95%CI: -1.43, -0.20) and full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) in the first trimester; additionally, TCEP and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (BEHP) in the second trimester, as well as DPHP in the third trimester, were negatively associated with cognitive development. Through the QGC analyses, mixture exposure in the first trimester was negatively associated with FSIQ scores (β: -1.70, 95% CI: -3.06, -0.34), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), BCIPP, and DPHP might be the dominant contributors after controlling for other OPEs and PAEs congeners. Additionally, the effect of OPEs and PAEs mixture on cognitive development might be driven by vitamin D deficiency.

Toxic effects of environmental concentration Bisphenol AF exposure on the survival, growth and reproduction of adult male Oryzias curvinotus. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2024; 280:109903.

Abstract
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is a novel environmental endocrine disruptor, and is widely detected in the aquatic environment, which is a potential threat to the health of fish. In this study, male Oryzias curvinotus were exposed to environmental concentrations (0.93 and 9.33 μg/L) of BPAF for 21 days. The effects of BPAF on survival, growth, reproduction, liver and testis histology, and gene transcriptional profiles of O. curvinotus were investigated. The results showed that the survival rate of male O. curvinotus slight decrease with increasing BPAF concentration, and there was no significant effect on body length, body weight, and K-factor. BPAF (9.33 μg/L) caused significant changes in testicular structure and reduced spermatid count in O. curvinotus. Changes in transcript levels of some antioxidant-related genes in gills and liver following BPAF exposure, imply an effect of BPAF on the immune system. After BPAF exposure, chgs and vtgs were up-regulated, validating the estrogenic effect of BPAF. In the hypothalamic - pituitary - gonadal axis (HPG) results, erα, erγ and cyp19a1b were all up-regulated in the brain, and the 0.93 μg/L BPAF group was more up-regulated than the 9.33 μg/L BPAF group. In testis, BPAF significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression level of cyp17a1 and cyp11b, while significantly down-regulated mRNA expression level of cyp11a, and cyp19a1 was significantly down-regulated only in the 0.93 μg/L BPAF group. In conclusion, environmental levels of BPAF have adverse effects on the survival and reproduction of O. curvinotus, and the potential toxic effects of environmental levels of BPAF cannot be ignored.

Abstract
Isavuconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug used for the treatment of serious infections caused by invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis in adults. With the continuous use of this drug, its safety and environmental impact have received increasing attention. However, information on the adverse effects of the drug is very limited. Fish is a particularly important model for assessing environmental risks. In this study, the aquatic vertebrate zebrafish was used as a model to study the toxic effects and mechanisms of isavuconazole. We exposed zebrafish embryos to 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/L of isavuconazole 6 h after fertilization. The results showed that at 72 hpf, isavuconazole exposure reduced heart rate, body length, and survival of zebrafish embryos compared to controls. Secondly, when isavuconazole reached a certain dose level (0.25 mg/L), it caused morphological changes in the Tg(elavl3:eGFP) transgenic fish line, with the head shrunk, the body bent, the fluorescence intensity becoming weaker, the abnormal motor behaviour, etc. At the same time, exposure of zebrafish embryos to isavuconazole downregulated acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and adenosine triphosphate (ATPase) activities but upregulated oxidative stress, thereby disrupting neural development and gene expression of neurotransmitter pathways. In addition, astaxanthin partially rescued the neurodevelopmental defects of zebrafish embryos by downregulating oxidative stress. Thus, our study suggests that isavuconazole exposure may induce neurodevelopment defects and behavioural disturbances in larval zebrafish.

Abstract
Fish photolocomotor behavioral response (PBR) studies have become increasingly prevalent in pharmacological and toxicological research to assess the environmental impact of various chemicals. There is a need for a standard, reliable statistical method to analyze PBR data. The most common method currently used, univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), does not account for temporal dependence in observations and leads to incomplete or unreliable conclusions. Repeated measures ANOVA, another commonly used method, has drawbacks in its interpretability for PBR study data. Because each observation is collected continuously over time, we instead consider each observation to be a function and apply functional ANOVA (FANOVA) to PBR data. Using the functional approach not only accounts for temporal dependency but also retains the full structure of the data and allows for straightforward interpretation in any subregion of the domain. Unlike the traditional univariate and repeated measures ANOVA, the FANOVA that we propose is nonparametric, requiring minimal assumptions. We demonstrate the disadvantages of univariate and repeated measures ANOVA using simulated data and show how they are overcome by applying FANOVA. We then apply one-way FANOVA to zebrafish data from a PBR study and discuss how those results can be reproduced for future PBR studies.

Abstract
BPA is used in a wide range of consumer products with very concern toxicological properties. The European Union has restricted its use to protect human health. Industry has substituted BPA by BPA analogues. However, there is a lack of knowledge about their impacts. In this work, BPA and 5 BPA analogues (BPS, BPAP, BPAF, BPFL and BPC) have been studied in classical SH-SY5Y and the alternative 3D in vitro models after 24 and 96 h of exposure. Cell viability, percentage of ROS, cell cycle phases as well as the morphology of the spheroids were measured. The 2D model was more sensitive than the 3D models with differences in cell viability higher than 60% after 24 h of exposure, and different mechanisms of ROS production. After chronic exposure, both models were more affected in comparison to the 24 h exposure. After a recovery time (96 h), the spheroids exposed to 2.5-40 µM were able to recover cell viability and the morphology. Among the BPs tested, BPFL>BPAF>BPAP and >BPC revealed higher toxicological effects, while BPS was the only one with lower effects than BPA. To conclude, the SH-SY5Y 3D model is a suitable candidate to perform more reliable in vitro neurotoxicity tests.

Abstract
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is one of the most commonly used alternatives of bisphenol A in the plastics industry. The effects of BPAF on nervous development are unclear. Curcumin (CUR) has been determined to be an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. In this study, the effects of BPAF on neurotoxicity of zebrafish embryos/larvae and whether CUR could reverse effects induced by BPAF were investigated. The results showed that BPAF treatment induced deficits in locomotor behavior, altered the larval brain development, caused aberrant expression of neurogenesis related genes (elavl3, zn5, α-tubulin, syn2a, and gap43), decreased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and induced oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and neuroinflammation in zebrafish larvae. CUR addition could block the adverse effects of BPAF on nervous development by attenuated oxidative stress and cell apoptosis induced by BPAF in zebrafish, enhanced the activity of AChE, and increased the expression of genes involved in the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-8). The results of this study indicate that BPAF could induce aberrant development on nervous system. However, CUR exerts neuroprotective effects on BPAF-induced neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae.

[PMID: 37832747 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Quercetin is a kind of flavonoid substance extensively existing in the plant, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptosis effects. It was reported that the higher concentration of spores present in the environment could cause abnormal development in zebrafish larvae. Therefore, this study set out to investigate whether quercetin could reduce the zebrafish larvae damage caused by Botrytis cinerea exposure as well as to examine the molecular basis for this action. The findings demonstrated that 50 μM quercetin improved the developmental dysplasia of zebrafish larvae induced by 102 CFU/mL Botrytis cinerea spore suspension, reduced abnormal apoptosis, enhanced antioxidant system, relieved inflammation, reshaped intestinal morphology and recovered intestinal motility. At the molecular level, quercetin decreased the transcriptional abundance of pro-apoptotic factors (bax, p53, caspase3, and caspase9) and up-regulated the anti-apoptotic gene (bcl-2) expression to reduce apoptosis. Moreover, quercetin enhanced the activities of downstream antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) to clear excess ROS and MDA due to Botrytis cinerea exposure by up-regulating the expression of antioxidant genes (nrf2, ho-1, sod, and cat) in the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. Additionally, quercetin inhibited the elevation of TNF-α by regulating the gene expression of key targets (jak3, pi3k, pdk1, akt, and ikk2) and the content of major proteins NF-κB (P65) and IκB in the NF-κB pathway. In conclusion, this work enriched the contents of the biological research of Botrytis cinerea and provided a new direction for the drug development and targeted therapy of quercetin.

Abstract
Maternal exposure to environment toxicants is an important risk factor for neurobehavioral health in their offspring. In our study, we investigated the impact of maternal exposure to chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESAs, commercial name: F-53B) on behavioral changes and the potential mechanism in the offspring larvae of zebrafish. Adult zebrafish exposed to Cl-PFESAs (0, 0.2, 2, 20 and 200 μg/L) for 21 days were subsequently mated their embryos were cultured for 5 days. Higher concentrations of Cl-PFESAs in zebrafish embryos were observed, along with, reduced swimming speed and distance travelled in the offspring larvae. Molecular docking analysis revealed that Cl-PFESAs can form hydrogen bonds with brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), protein kinase C, alpha, (PKCα), Ca2+-ATPase and Na, K - ATPase. Molecular and biochemical studies evidenced Cl-PFESAs induce dopaminergic dysfunction, eye developmental defects and disrupted Ca2+ homeostasis. Together, our results showed that maternal exposure to Cl-PFESAs lead to behavioral alteration in offspring mediated by disruption in Ca2+ homeostasis, dopaminergic dysfunction and eye developmental defects.

Abstract
Throughout their lives, humans encounter a plethora of substances capable of inducing neurotoxic effects, including drugs, heavy metals and pesticides. Neurotoxicity manifests when exposure to these chemicals disrupts the normal functioning of the nervous system, and some neurotoxic agents have been linked to neurodegenerative pathologies such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The growing concern surrounding the neurotoxic impacts of both naturally occurring and man-made toxic substances necessitates the identification of animal models for rapid testing across a wide spectrum of substances and concentrations, and the utilization of tools capable of detecting nervous system alterations spanning from the molecular level up to the behavioural one. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is gaining prominence in the field of neuroscience due to its versatility. The possibility of analysing all developmental stages (embryo, larva and adult), applying the most common "omics" approaches (transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, etc.) and conducting a wide range of behavioural tests makes zebrafish an excellent model for neurotoxicity studies. This review delves into the main experimental approaches adopted and the main markers analysed in neurotoxicity studies in zebrafish, showing that neurotoxic phenomena can be triggered not only by exposure to chemical substances but also by fluctuations in temperature. The findings presented here serve as a valuable resource for the study of neurotoxicity in zebrafish and define new scenarios in ecotoxicology suggesting that alterations in temperature can synergistically compound the neurotoxic effects of chemical substances, intensifying their detrimental impact on fish populations.

Abstract
Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is commonly used to measure the mRNA expression of target genes in zebrafish. Gene expression values from RT-qPCR are typically reported as relative fold-changes, and relative quantification of RT-qPCR data incorporates primer amplification efficiency values for each target gene. We describe the influence of the primer amplification efficiency analysis method on RT-qPCR gene expression fold-change calculations. This report describes (1) a sample analysis demonstrating incorporation of primer amplification efficiency into RT-qPCR analysis for comparing gene expression of a gene of interest between two groups when normalized to multiple reference genes, (2) the influence of differences in primer amplification efficiencies between measured genes on gene expression differences calculated from theoretical delta-Cq (dCq) values, and (3) an empirical comparison of the influence of three methods of defining primer amplification efficiency in gene expression analyses (delta-delta-Cq [ddCq], standard curve, LinRegPCR) using mRNA measurements of a set of genes in zebrafish embryonic development. Given the need to account for the influence of primer amplification efficiency along with the simplicity of using software programs (LinRegPCR) to measure primer amplification efficiency from RT-qPCR data, we encourage using empirical measurements of primer amplification efficiency for RT-qPCR analysis of differential gene expression in zebrafish.

Abstract
Food safety has long been an area of concern. The selection of stable and efficient model organisms is particularly important for food toxicology studies. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are small model vertebrates, and 70% of human genes have at least one zebrafish ortholog. Zebrafish have advantages as model organisms due to their short life cycle, strong reproductive ability, easy rearing, and low cost. Zebrafish embryos have the advantage of being sensitive to the breeding environment and thus have been used as biosensors. Zebrafish and their embryos have been widely used for food toxicology assessments. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive summary of food toxicology studies using zebrafish as model organisms. First, we briefly introduce the multidimensional mechanisms and structure-activity relationship studies of food toxicological assessment. Second, we categorize these studies according to eight types of hazards in foods, including mycotoxins, pesticides, antibiotics, heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, food additives, nanoparticles, and other food-related ingredients. Finally, we list the applications of zebrafish in food toxicology studies in line with future research prospects, aiming to provide a valuable reference for researchers in the field of food science.

Abstract
Due to the estrogenic behavior of bisphenol (BP) A, industries have developed many substitutes, such as BPS and BPF. However, due to their structural similarities, adverse effects on reproduction are currently observed in various organisms, including fish. Even if new results have shown impacts of these bisphenols on many other physiological functions, their mode of action remains unclear. In this context, we proposed to better understand the impact of BPA, BPS, and BPF on immune responses (leucocyte sub-populations, cell death, respiratory burst, lysosomal presence, and phagocytic activity) and on biomarkers of metabolic detoxification (ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase, EROD, and glutathione S-transferase, GST) and oxidative stress (glutathione peroxidase, GPx, and lipid peroxidation with thiobarbituric acid reactive substance method, TBARS) in an adult sentinel fish species, the three-spined stickleback. In order to enhance our understanding of how biomarkers change over time, it is essential to determine the internal concentration responsible for the observed responses. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the toxicokinetics of bisphenols. Thus, sticklebacks were exposed either to 100 μg/L of BPA, BPF or BPS for 21 days, or for seven days to 10 and 100 μg/L of BPA or BPS followed by seven days of depuration. Although BPS has very different TK, due to its lower bioaccumulation compared to BPA and BPF, BPS affect oxidative stress and phagocytic activity in the same way. For those reasons, the replacement of BPA by any substitute should be made carefully in terms of risk assessment on aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight-galactomannan (LMW-GM) is an edible polysaccharide with various biological activities. However, it is used in the field of neuroprotection. In this study, two types of LMW-GMs from Sesbania cannabina were obtained by gluconic acid extraction (GA-LMW-GM) and enzymatic hydrolysis (GMOS). The structure of GA-LMW-GM and GMOS were identified using different nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The antioxidant and neuroprotective activities of GA-LMW-GM and GMOS were evaluated in vitro/vivo. The results showed that both GA-LMW-GM and GMOS possess good free radicals scavenging ability in vitro with IC50 values of 1.9 mg/mL and 4.9 mg/mL for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals 2.8 mg/mL and 4.4 mg/mL for O2•- radicals, respectively. However, GA-LMW-GM was more effective at scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo and protecting the fundamental growth (with a recovery capability of 62.5%) and locomotor functions (with recovery capability of 193.7%) of zebrafish with neurological damage induced by Bisphenol AF.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) are two environmental pollutants that usually coexist in the natural environment. Studies of MPs or BPAF have gradually increased in recent years, but few studies have focused on the combination toxic effects. In this study, the subchronic model of adult zebrafish was exposed to 1 mg/L nanolevel microplastics and 200 μg/L BPAF for 45 days; the parental zebrafish were spawning every 3 days during exposure, and the effects of continuous poisoning were examined on the offspring after 1-9 spawns. The results showed that single BPAF exposure or BPAF and nanoplastic coexposure can both decrease the number of eggs laid and the locomotor behavior of parental zebrafish and impact the hatching rate, mortality, body length and locomotor behavior of offspring zebrafish, especially in 7-9 spawn. BPAF were accumulated in parental zebrafish intestinal in 334.62 ng/g in BPAF group and 594.52 ng/g in nm+BPAF group, and accumulated in whole offspring zebrafish for 281.6 ng/g in BPAF group and 321.46 ng/g in nm+BPAF group. Neurodevelopmental, inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress-related genes were also significantly increased after 7-9 spawn. In addition, the exacerbated accumulation in the BPAF+nm group in parental and offspring zebrafish may be the reason for the accelerated toxic effect in the present research. In this study, we investigated the combined effects of nanoplastics and BPAF on parental and offspring zebrafish in the aquatic environment to identify the accumulative toxic effects and provide new experimental support for assessing the effects of coexposure on aquatic organisms.
